NATUtDAY KVENINU, February 31, 1H40, From Washington. Our Washington tetter gives nearly all of in tercet Hint has transpired in Washington. The speech of Mr. Colquitt, of Georgia, on the Oregon question, ex-1 cited no little amusement in the Senate. lie was 1 quite satirical occasionally, and insisted that he was just as brave a man as those who talked so loudly of war. When he was a schoolboy, be said, he always despised those who were ever seeking to get up a quarrel anion; others in school he found that such were not foremost to tight themselves, lie treated as , preposterous the idea that the President was disposed to lay claim to all of Oregon, at all hazards. The President meant to do no such thing ; and those who supposed lliat the honor of the nation demanded the assumption of such a position, slandered Gen. Jack on and sought to impugn the integrity and to question the courage of that great soldier ; because he had never set up the pretence that we have an unjustifia- j ble claim to the whole of that territory. These were regarded and felt as home thrusts by Mcsssrs. Cass, Allen & Co. Nevertheless, Mr. Colquitt is in favor of the notice, as a peace measure; and as calculated to lead to negotittion and compromise. He declared himself emiueutly a peace man, and his deposition to oppose any step calculated to lead to difficulty. Mr. Dix, of N. York, expected to occupy the floor on the question on Wednesday ; and it has been intimated that Mr. Denton designed to speak on Thursday.In the House another attempt was made to get an authentic copy of the Tariff Bill of Mr. Walker, but without success. A motion was made to make the Cumberland Road Bill the order of the day for the first Monday in Mirch. Notice was given that the bill fur raiding two regiments of volunteers, would be called up on Wednesday. Mr. Lewis mid hi Orgnn. Tiiu Cincinnati Herald devotes two columns to our especial benefit and in reply ta our notice of the letter of Mr. Lkwis, the Birney candidate for Governor. We have given the article a careful reading, and come to the conclusion that an attempt to reply to perversions and misrepresentations which display themselves in every paragraph, would be imposing upon the forbearance of our readers. Our desire has been, and is, to deal justly by all men.

We hive been disappointed in the Herald. With an air of cand, it unites s degree of sophistry and Correspondence of the Ohio State Journal. Washington, Feb. 17, 164G. You may have thought, from the accounts that 1 have been obliged to write you, that the nation's whole annual income of nonsense was lately spent in the " democracy " of the House ; and so it perhaps was : but, egad! Messrs. Allen Sc Co., are resolved not to be out-done in that way ; are making a bold push at the principal, the capital; and threaten to beggar us of folly altogether. They surely forget that Hard Money is yet to come, in the shape of theSub-Treasury and Free Trade in the semblance of the Revenue Standard. Would it not be prudent, then, to be a little leas inordinate ? Or do they look upon Absurdity as a thing in which they are inexhaustible ? " There is, just now, s mighty emulation between Cass, Allen and Hannegan. The rival exploits of the two first have, during the last two months, been such as to awaken in the last all that generous fever of renown which kindled up in Themislocles, when that youth could not sleep, for the trophies of Miltiades. 11 Why " asked his, H s., glowing bosom of itself u could not he attain equal honors? Was it for them alone to be insane or extravagant? Had either Nature or Art neither of whom had kcver had much to do wiih them bestowed on them any monopoly of senselessness? Certainly Cass was tamely imbecile, beyond expression, and AHeu's the very fury of un-iiicaningucsa : but what then? Might not he, after his own several genius, distinguish himself by a like stupidity? Both of these were grave dunces the one a mutters and mumbler, the other a bellowcr of brain lesHiiess ; now, was there no happy medium ? Could he not, without being as hoarsely inaudible an Cass, utter what was just as unfit to be listened to? And, without any danger of blowing off the dome of the Capitol, like Allen, could ho not contrive to pour out an almost, -equal flood of nothingness? Ah! 1 have it ! They are grave of a most solemn folly : mine ahull bu pert, smart : for tlio perfection of a dunce is to be lively." Upon this plan, Mr. Hannegan spake, evidently: but, in my opinion, he completely failed, exce pt in one great final flight of silliness, where, by way of peroration he praytd ; and that in audi a style of fustian and with gestures so like the worst runt of the theatre, that while few of the Conscript Fathers could entirely keep their countenances, Allen's heart must have sunk within him, as he saw that there was one mode of eloquence in which his own utmost powers of bathos had been entirely equalled. In all the rest, Hannegan certainly made a pretty figure; but far, very far, did he fall short of that anti-sublime, that vast downward flight into the foolish, that headlong plunge into the lowest profound of trumpery and thunder, which Allen constantly readies, upon the least, as upon the greatest occasions. Indeed, that hero of rumble and rum-fustian mrrr condescends to be any thing less than tremendous; and I never see him make one of Ihose portentious and amazing descents of his to the very bottom of all nonsense, without a lively hope that he'll knock it out with his head and be spilt for- unfairness lint would shame the veriest locofoco press J in the hud. While it claims perfect purity for iUrlf and its candidate and for the principles inscribed on its banner, it denies all merit to its opponents and shamclesily puts forth in reference to them, as a whole, statements that have been ten thousand times disproved. With alt our charity, we can find no palliation for such conduct. Justice, truth prompt us to say, once fur all, that the Birney organ of Cincinnati belies the Whig party, and utterly misrepresents its position on tlio great question of slavery. It is with it, as with Mr. Lewis, the only hope of maintaining an organization that never has and never will accomplish aught of good, is to deceive the country as to the views of tho Whigs. They have avowed their purpose to war on tho Whig pnrty, and the Herald has avowed its locofoco predilections on nearly all those questions that divide the two leading par ties of the country ; and if, after such avowals, we never hear at him again. In one thing, particularly, Hannegan can never hope to match him his power of exciting derision and contempt. For Hannegan has much of the good fellow about him. He has not only good feeling, but at times common sense about him; while Allen never gives one the slightest idea of either. It is his felicity to create for himself a contempt for his clamorous folly and a repugnance for his baseness of all purposes and opinions, quite beyond all that I have ever seen any body else enjoy. I have said that Mr. Hannegan wound up (and this is seriously so) with a pretty long prayer. Well, a sermon very naturally follows ; and this is no doubt the reason why Colquitt of Georgia, an ex-travelling preacher, got the floor for to-day. He is another very bad speaker ; weak, denunciatory and snuflling. What side he will take is hardly known; and is, indeed, of no consequence, except as to his vote. He has been generally considered a part of " the scaly horrors " of Calhoun's tail. You may remember hmi among those Georgians who, in IH-U, elected by Whig have exacted aught of fairness and honesty at their j dirtrict" " WhiS ' imita,,tlJr nd io binwftilljr hinds, disappointment is the just desert of our credu litv, There is one declaration of the Herald we wish to place on record, not to reply to it ; but to ask what is i to be expected of men who not only declare that, instead of securing their favor and support by repealing all the Black Laws of Ohio, the Whig parly must expect the same fuclioua hostility and opposition in every stepof the work that has heretofore met them ; and wheuall is done and they have gone to the full extent of their constitutional power in efforts to establish correct laws an principles they must even strike at the national compact itself before these immaculate expounders of liberty and truth will deign to recogniie them ! Well if it will afford additional consolation to the Journal, we will go further than Mr. Lewis, and say, it will not avail our adversaries to repeal nil the Rlack yties they mint go further than that. That is a kind of negatire action ; that is simply undoing a local wrong which has been meanly inflictrd. The only point in the two columns of tlic Herald that seems to require notice, or to render a qualifica tion of a previous remark of ours necessary, is its allusion to tho vote on the admission of Florida. Wc were under the impression that the rote in this ease stood "nearly the same" as thst on tho Annexation of Texas. Without adverting to the House, the Herald shows that, in the Senate, there was a marked difference. There were but nine voles in opposition to Florida, while there were !tf against the admission of Texas. Still, even this vote shows the marked difference between the Whig and locofoco parties which the Herald refuses to recogniie. The nine voles against tho infamous constitution of Florida, utre all llhigs! The Journal protested as earnestly against the obnoxious features ef the Florida Constitution as did the Herald. We have yet to hear of tho Locofoco press or politician that opposed it, yet there is uno difference" according to the Herald. We arc still under the impression that the vote of the House, which is not noticed b) the Herald, would go to corroborate our remark on the point. Hiiltimore and Ohio Hail Rond. We are notdisposed to engage in a controversy with our friend of the Chillicothe O .unite, in reference to tho termination of this road. It will be time enough for that whmi, if ever, the question is settled whether tho Rd is to be completed to tho Ohio river. We suppose it will be completed, and we are glad to hear that the Com piny itself is beginning to see tho danger of allowing the question to remain longer unsettled. If the lhUimore and Ohio Hail Road rear lies tho Ohio at Wheeling, there can bo but little doubt what route it will lake through this State. If it strikes the Ohio at Farkcrsburg, the mute preferred by our contemporary, isty be adopted; but if so, it will be because other sections and mules fail to present so many inducements and advantages as that. Recent information bad us to believe that the company are inclined to accept the offer of Virginia, and will anon com me nee operations for completing the road to the Ohio at Wheeling. A supplementary bill is now before the Legislature of Virginia designed to hasten this decision and facilitate tho completion of the Road to Wheeling. The difficulties in that route hive been greatly magnified by thosu interested in di verting the attention of the company to another point. They begin to feel sensible of this fact, if they have not been conscious of it all along : having before them the'actual slate offsets, Kntcrlaining these opinions and expectations, we can see nothing to be gained by controversy, and a setting up of rival interests. What we complain of is, that om contemporary should attempt to produce the impression, in the east, that the , people of Ohio favor the lower termination of the road, 1 because they gave a charter to the Belpre and Chilli-cothe company. In answer to the inquiry, how much the passage of the Baltimore and Ohio Riil Road through this section will enhance the tolls of the National Road, we will rniy, in yank re fashion : How much has the com ratted to Locofocoism. Cooper and Black were the others ; and their laudable example was followed, next year, by Chnpell. I care not to what party such open renegades belong : they are as much my scorn in onn as the other. It was, in these men, an immediate and shameless betrayal of their constituents, as soon as they had got their votes. While Colquitt holds forth, let us talk of the Tariff. You seo that repeated efforts were yesterday made, by yourexcelleut members Gen. Vance and Mr. Schenck, to extract the new Treasury Bill from the committee of Ways and Means or from Secretary Walker: but a firm Locofoco phalanx withstood every such attempt. It is clearly intended (though by a different method from that mentioned in my last) to keep it out of tho hands of tho House, until, by Party Caucus, the details can be settled. Meantime, there lie the great interests of the country, and here sit their representatives, denied even the poor right of teeing a bill in volving so much. Party, cabal, caucus, log-rolling, electioneering, openly take the entire matter into their profligate disposal, to huckster and bargain away a whole people's fate and industry I It is a comfort to find, however, that the plan has bred a great wrath and bitterness among themselves. Their Free Trade and their Tariff men are said to be fighting over it like cats and dogs. So mote it be ! I trust to sec tlio Whigs except a few Southern ones, who can no longer be expected to sacrifice themselves for Northern interests bttrayrd by more than half the Worth stand firmly to the national policy ; and if in vain (as so often before) they will have, besides tho consolation of having done their duty, two others, somewhat bitter and mixed, but which honest men may still allow themselves to feel that the fall of these great interests will crush the President and tho party who pull them down; and that the chief sufferer will be Pennsylvania, You may have observed among the rumors from hence, with which the press teems, come very confident ones of the progress of a treaty, almost to completion, for settling with England the Oregon question and the Tariff together. I totally discredit such a thing: 'tis impossible. The country will never submit to such an arrangement a sale of its arts and industry for a few barren degrees moro of a region of which we can get quite as much as we want by frank and friendly negotiation. As a treaty, it will require a vote of two-thirds in the Senate; while a bare ma-majority is the utmost thai tho Oregon question can hone. Well: Mr. Colquitt has pronounced himself. He is for the Notice to Great Britain, as "a peace measure;" and for our title somewhat further than he thinks it, 11 as a man of honor," entirely unquestionable that is, up to M degrees 40 minutes. I must mention, too, as a worthy example of the tru tli fulness or efficiency of this administration, an answer returned to-day by the Executive to the call fur information as to what hat become of the indtmni tiet from Mexico receipted for to that government hj our agents Mr. l ass, oh the 9?(A August, lr-U ? I lie reply is, that the President can't say t It is now only ltj months since the transaction ; the claimants have been clamoring for their money a great part of the time; it has excited complaint, wonder, reprehension, in Congress and out ; envoys and charges and messengers have been testifying and disclosing ; but still no cash and no explanation; nor even yet has the first and most necessary step been taken that of calling forward Mr. Voss and others who ean speak, and making them speak ! I have always believed the transaction to be a very foul one, and this Government t lie cov- ering it up. Does not this conduct look very like it? Nothing very note-worthy haaocuiirred in the House.

And, how much will the M id River Rail Road, when completed to the Lake, add to the receipt of both these roads?

The speech of Mr. Colquitt, of Georgia, on the Oregon question, ex-1 cited no little amusement in the Senate. lie was 1 quite satirical occasionally, and insisted that he was just as brave a man as those who talked so loudly of war. When he was a schoolboy, be said, he always despised those who were ever seeking to get up a quarrel anion; others in school he found that such were not foremost to tight themselves, lie treated as , preposterous the idea that the President was disposed to lay claim to all of Oregon, at all hazards. The President meant to do no such thing ; and those who supposed lliat the honor of the nation demanded the assumption of such a position, slandered Gen. Jack on and sought to impugn the integrity and to question the courage of that great soldier ; because he had never set up the pretence that we have an unjustifia- j ble claim to the whole of that territory. These were regarded and felt as home thrusts by Mcsssrs. Cass, Allen & Co. Nevertheless, Mr. Colquitt is in favor of the notice, as a peace measure; and as calculated to lead to negotittion and compromise. He declared himself emiueutly a peace man, and his deposition to oppose any step calculated to lead to difficulty. Mr. Dix, of N. York, expected to occupy the floor on the question on Wednesday ; and it has been intimated that Mr. Denton designed to speak on Thursday.In the House another attempt was made to get an authentic copy of the Tariff Bill of Mr. Walker, but without success. A motion was made to make the Cumberland Road Bill the order of the day for the first Monday in Mirch. Notice was given that the bill fur raiding two regiments of volunteers, would be called up on Wednesday. Mr. Lewis mid hi Orgnn. Tiiu Cincinnati Herald devotes two columns to our especial benefit and in reply ta our notice of the letter of Mr. Lkwis, the Birney candidate for Governor. We have given the article a careful reading, and come to the conclusion that an attempt to reply to perversions and misrepresentations which display themselves in every paragraph, would be imposing upon the forbearance of our readers. Our desire has been, and is, to deal justly by all men.

You may have thought, from the accounts that 1 have been obliged to write you, that the nation's whole annual income of nonsense was lately spent in the " democracy " of the House ; and so it perhaps was : but, egad! Messrs. Allen Sc Co., are resolved not to be out-done in that way ; are making a bold push at the principal, the capital; and threaten to beggar us of folly altogether. They surely forget that Hard Money is yet to come, in the shape of theSub-Treasury and Free Trade in the semblance of the Revenue Standard. Would it not be prudent, then, to be a little leas inordinate ? Or do they look upon Absurdity as a thing in which they are inexhaustible ? " There is, just now, s mighty emulation between Cass, Allen and Hannegan. The rival exploits of the two first have, during the last two months, been such as to awaken in the last all that generous fever of renown which kindled up in Themislocles, when that youth could not sleep, for the trophies of Miltiades. 11 Why " asked his, H s., glowing bosom of itself u could not he attain equal honors? Was it for them alone to be insane or extravagant? Had either Nature or Art neither of whom had kcver had much to do wiih them bestowed on them any monopoly of senselessness? Certainly Cass was tamely imbecile, beyond expression, and AHeu's the very fury of un-iiicaningucsa : but what then? Might not he, after his own several genius, distinguish himself by a like stupidity? Both of these were grave dunces the one a mutters and mumbler, the other a bellowcr of brain lesHiiess ; now, was there no happy medium ? Could he not, without being as hoarsely inaudible an Cass, utter what was just as unfit to be listened to? And, without any danger of blowing off the dome of the Capitol, like Allen, could ho not contrive to pour out an almost, -equal flood of nothingness? Ah! 1 have it ! They are grave of a most solemn folly : mine ahull bu pert, smart : for tlio perfection of a dunce is to be lively." Upon this plan, Mr. Hannegan spake, evidently: but, in my opinion, he completely failed, exce pt in one great final flight of silliness, where, by way of peroration he praytd ; and that in audi a style of fustian and with gestures so like the worst runt of the theatre, that while few of the Conscript Fathers could entirely keep their countenances, Allen's heart must have sunk within him, as he saw that there was one mode of eloquence in which his own utmost powers of bathos had been entirely equalled. In all the rest, Hannegan certainly made a pretty figure; but far, very far, did he fall short of that anti-sublime, that vast downward flight into the foolish, that headlong plunge into the lowest profound of trumpery and thunder, which Allen constantly readies, upon the least, as upon the greatest occasions. Indeed, that hero of rumble and rum-fustian mrrr condescends to be any thing less than tremendous; and I never see him make one of Ihose portentious and amazing descents of his to the very bottom of all nonsense, without a lively hope that he'll knock it out with his head and be spilt for- unfairness lint would shame the veriest locofoco press J in the hud. While it claims perfect purity for iUrlf and its candidate and for the principles inscribed on its banner, it denies all merit to its opponents and shamclesily puts forth in reference to them, as a whole, statements that have been ten thousand times disproved. With alt our charity, we can find no palliation for such conduct. Justice, truth prompt us to say, once fur all, that the Birney organ of Cincinnati belies the Whig party, and utterly misrepresents its position on tlio great question of slavery. It is with it, as with Mr. Lewis, the only hope of maintaining an organization that never has and never will accomplish aught of good, is to deceive the country as to the views of tho Whigs. They have avowed their purpose to war on tho Whig pnrty, and the Herald has avowed its locofoco predilections on nearly all those questions that divide the two leading par ties of the country ; and if, after such avowals, we never hear at him again. In one thing, particularly, Hannegan can never hope to match him his power of exciting derision and contempt. For Hannegan has much of the good fellow about him. He has not only good feeling, but at times common sense about him; while Allen never gives one the slightest idea of either. It is his felicity to create for himself a contempt for his clamorous folly and a repugnance for his baseness of all purposes and opinions, quite beyond all that I have ever seen any body else enjoy. I have said that Mr. Hannegan wound up (and this is seriously so) with a pretty long prayer. Well, a sermon very naturally follows ; and this is no doubt the reason why Colquitt of Georgia, an ex-travelling preacher, got the floor for to-day. He is another very bad speaker ; weak, denunciatory and snuflling. What side he will take is hardly known; and is, indeed, of no consequence, except as to his vote. He has been generally considered a part of " the scaly horrors " of Calhoun's tail. You may remember hmi among those Georgians who, in IH-U, elected by Whig have exacted aught of fairness and honesty at their j dirtrict" " WhiS ' imita,,tlJr nd io binwftilljr hinds, disappointment is the just desert of our credu litv, There is one declaration of the Herald we wish to place on record, not to reply to it ; but to ask what is i to be expected of men who not only declare that, instead of securing their favor and support by repealing all the Black Laws of Ohio, the Whig parly must expect the same fuclioua hostility and opposition in every stepof the work that has heretofore met them ; and wheuall is done and they have gone to the full extent of their constitutional power in efforts to establish correct laws an principles they must even strike at the national compact itself before these immaculate expounders of liberty and truth will deign to recogniie them ! Well if it will afford additional consolation to the Journal, we will go further than Mr. Lewis, and say, it will not avail our adversaries to repeal nil the Rlack yties they mint go further than that. That is a kind of negatire action ; that is simply undoing a local wrong which has been meanly inflictrd. The only point in the two columns of tlic Herald that seems to require notice, or to render a qualifica tion of a previous remark of ours necessary, is its allusion to tho vote on the admission of Florida. Wc were under the impression that the rote in this ease stood "nearly the same" as thst on tho Annexation of Texas. Without adverting to the House, the Herald shows that, in the Senate, there was a marked difference. There were but nine voles in opposition to Florida, while there were !tf against the admission of Texas. Still, even this vote shows the marked difference between the Whig and locofoco parties which the Herald refuses to recogniie. The nine voles against tho infamous constitution of Florida, utre all llhigs! The Journal protested as earnestly against the obnoxious features ef the Florida Constitution as did the Herald. We have yet to hear of tho Locofoco press or politician that opposed it, yet there is uno difference" according to the Herald. We arc still under the impression that the vote of the House, which is not noticed b) the Herald, would go to corroborate our remark on the point. Hiiltimore and Ohio Hail Rond. We are notdisposed to engage in a controversy with our friend of the Chillicothe O .unite, in reference to tho termination of this road. It will be time enough for that whmi, if ever, the question is settled whether tho Rd is to be completed to tho Ohio river. We suppose it will be completed, and we are glad to hear that the Com piny itself is beginning to see tho danger of allowing the question to remain longer unsettled. If the lhUimore and Ohio Hail Road rear lies tho Ohio at Wheeling, there can bo but little doubt what route it will lake through this State. If it strikes the Ohio at Farkcrsburg, the mute preferred by our contemporary, isty be adopted; but if so, it will be because other sections and mules fail to present so many inducements and advantages as that. Recent information bad us to believe that the company are inclined to accept the offer of Virginia, and will anon com me nee operations for completing the road to the Ohio at Wheeling. A supplementary bill is now before the Legislature of Virginia designed to hasten this decision and facilitate tho completion of the Road to Wheeling. The difficulties in that route hive been greatly magnified by thosu interested in di verting the attention of the company to another point. They begin to feel sensible of this fact, if they have not been conscious of it all along : having before them the'actual slate offsets, Kntcrlaining these opinions and expectations, we can see nothing to be gained by controversy, and a setting up of rival interests. What we complain of is, that om contemporary should attempt to produce the impression, in the east, that the , people of Ohio favor the lower termination of the road, 1 because they gave a charter to the Belpre and Chilli-cothe company. In answer to the inquiry, how much the passage of the Baltimore and Ohio Riil Road through this section will enhance the tolls of the National Road, we will rniy, in yank re fashion : How much has the com ratted to Locofocoism. Cooper and Black were the others ; and their laudable example was followed, next year, by Chnpell. I care not to what party such open renegades belong : they are as much my scorn in onn as the other. It was, in these men, an immediate and shameless betrayal of their constituents, as soon as they had got their votes. While Colquitt holds forth, let us talk of the Tariff. You seo that repeated efforts were yesterday made, by yourexcelleut members Gen. Vance and Mr. Schenck, to extract the new Treasury Bill from the committee of Ways and Means or from Secretary Walker: but a firm Locofoco phalanx withstood every such attempt. It is clearly intended (though by a different method from that mentioned in my last) to keep it out of tho hands of tho House, until, by Party Caucus, the details can be settled. Meantime, there lie the great interests of the country, and here sit their representatives, denied even the poor right of teeing a bill in volving so much. Party, cabal, caucus, log-rolling, electioneering, openly take the entire matter into their profligate disposal, to huckster and bargain away a whole people's fate and industry I It is a comfort to find, however, that the plan has bred a great wrath and bitterness among themselves. Their Free Trade and their Tariff men are said to be fighting over it like cats and dogs. So mote it be ! I trust to sec tlio Whigs except a few Southern ones, who can no longer be expected to sacrifice themselves for Northern interests bttrayrd by more than half the Worth stand firmly to the national policy ; and if in vain (as so often before) they will have, besides tho consolation of having done their duty, two others, somewhat bitter and mixed, but which honest men may still allow themselves to feel that the fall of these great interests will crush the President and tho party who pull them down; and that the chief sufferer will be Pennsylvania, You may have observed among the rumors from hence, with which the press teems, come very confident ones of the progress of a treaty, almost to completion, for settling with England the Oregon question and the Tariff together. I totally discredit such a thing: 'tis impossible. The country will never submit to such an arrangement a sale of its arts and industry for a few barren degrees moro of a region of which we can get quite as much as we want by frank and friendly negotiation. As a treaty, it will require a vote of two-thirds in the Senate; while a bare ma-majority is the utmost thai tho Oregon question can hone. Well: Mr. Colquitt has pronounced himself. He is for the Notice to Great Britain, as "a peace measure;" and for our title somewhat further than he thinks it, 11 as a man of honor," entirely unquestionable that is, up to M degrees 40 minutes. I must mention, too, as a worthy example of the tru tli fulness or efficiency of this administration, an answer returned to-day by the Executive to the call fur information as to what hat become of the indtmni tiet from Mexico receipted for to that government hj our agents Mr. l ass, oh the 9?(A August, lr-U ? I lie reply is, that the President can't say t It is now only ltj months since the transaction ; the claimants have been clamoring for their money a great part of the time; it has excited complaint, wonder, reprehension, in Congress and out ; envoys and charges and messengers have been testifying and disclosing ; but still no cash and no explanation; nor even yet has the first and most necessary step been taken that of calling forward Mr. Voss and others who ean speak, and making them speak ! I have always believed the transaction to be a very foul one, and this Government t lie cov- ering it up. Does not this conduct look very like it? Nothing very note-worthy haaocuiirred in the House.
